Hi,

I am able to find the GET parameters that are made as part of a request but I am not able to retrieve the POST parameters for a request. Can you guys tell me what should be my search parameters for the same?

Thanks in advance.

If I understand your question, you are trying to use Splunk to search your HTTP server logs. Typically HTTP servers do not log POST parameter data. As such, it would be difficult to find it in Splunk.

Of course, if you are able and willing to configure your HTTP server to log POST data, then you could easily Splunk that data - but I don't know what searches you would use, as they would be highly based upon your configuration.
